INTRODUCTION:

This pyrometer has 4 different "Modes" of operation.

Mode 1: Take temps, store in Memory, recall from Memory

Mode 2: Compute tire temp Averages, taken or entered

Mode 3: 4 car Stopwatch function Mode 4: Interval stopwatch - see

QuickStart

NOTE:

This pyrometer is programmed to automatically record 12 tire temps in a

specified order. Take the temperatures in this same order. Start with the RF, then RR,

LR, and LF. Do the outside of the tire first, the center, then the inside.

If you wish to take temps in a different order:

Push one of the small buttons marked RF,

LR, etc. by the car icon. The pyrometer will then take that temp. Start at the outside of the tire as above.

This pyrometer has special circuitry that will actually determine the final temp more quickly and accurately than ordinary

pyrometers. Simply stick the probe into the tire and push the Read button. No need to wait for the reading to stabilize - the

microprocessor will do this for you. This is called "Anticipation Circuitry" because it electronically anticipates - computes - the

final stabilized temp based on the rate of temp change of the probe. Almost instantly the pyrometer will double beep and move

on to the next temperature location. WAIT UNTIL THE DISPLAY CHANGES TO MOVE THE PROBE. This system gives you more

accurate and consistant readings and helps minimize the variations caused by different people's style of taking tire temps.

NOTE:

IF YOU PREFER TO TAKE TEMPS IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY - waiting for the temps to stabilize on the display, then

record the readings - this pyrometer can be reset to operate this way. All other functions will be the same. To change hold down

Memory buttons #1 & 10 together for 2 seconds. The operating system will change so that when the Read button is pushed the

actual temperature at that time will be recorded. No "Anticipation" of the final temp will take place. The unit will stay in this

mode even if shut off. To change back to anticipation mode repeat the above procedure.

Mode 1 - TAKE TEMPERATURES:

If any temps from your last use are there they

must be cleared before you can take any new temps. If you wish to save them they

can be stored in one of the Memories - 1 to 10. See below.

To CLEAR DISPLAY:

Push "Clear Display" button and hold for 2 seconds. The follow-

ing message will appear:

CLEARING DISPLAY CLEARING DISPLAY

CLEARING DISPLAY

DID YOU WANT TO SAVE? DID YOU WANT TO SAVE?

DID YOU WANT TO SAVE?

If you do want to save these in Memory QUICKLY RELEASE the "Clear Display" but-

ton. Once the display is cleared those temps are lost. See below to save in Memory.

BEGIN:

The display should now be blank except for the upper right temp location

(Right Front outside). An arrow (>) indicates the active temp. Stick the probe into the

outside edge of the tire and push the "Read" button. LEAVE THE PROBE IN THE TIRE

UNTIL THE DISPLAY MOVES TO THE NEXT LOCATION. This happens very quickly.

You don't need to wait for the temps to stabilize. The pyrometer will double beep,

freeze the temp on the display, and move to the next location. Move the probe to the

center of the tire and repeat. Take the remaining temps in the same way. After you

have finished the last one (Left Front inside) all temps on the display will be frozen.

MISTAKES:

If you make a mistake and don't feel that the last temp is correct you can

"back up" one or more locations. Push the "Re-Read" button as many times as needed.

Any temps in that location(s) will be erased.

MORE TEMPS:

To take more temps it will be necessary to Clear the display. You may

want to save these temps in one of the Memories. Temps on the display will stay until

you Clear them, even if the unit is turned off.

STORE TEMPS IN MEMORY:

When you have taken a full set of temps (or even a par-

tial set) you can store them for recall later. Simply push "Store in Memory" AND any

Memory button - 1 to 10 - at the same time. A double beep will indicated that these

Push the Mode button twice if you are in Mode 1 - normal pyrometer (only once if you are in Averaging Mode). A message "STOPWATCH MODE" will appear briefly. This Stopwatch Mode is like having 4 separate watches to time 4 different cars every lap - at the same time. The display will appear as follows: times lap counter watch # (these never change) #1 00.00 L0 #2 00.
